Memorable quotes from Once Upon a Time in America
"Why was that a surprise? You can always pick the winners at the starting gate - the winners and the losers. Who woulda put a penny on me?"
"I hope the investigation turns out to be nothing; it'd be a shame to see a lifetime of work go to waste."
"You'll put up, and you'll shut up! You hear nothing, and you see nothing! Just like you did for Bugsy!"
"You see, I have a story too, Mr. Bailey. I had a friend once. A dear friend. I turned him in to save his life. He died. But he wanted it that way. Things went bad for my friend, and they went bad for me, too."
"I haven't had a gun in my hands for many, many years. My eyes aren't what they used to be, even with the glasses. My hands shake. And I wouldn't want to miss."
"I'm not that type of guy, besides if I hit you, I'm afraid you'd like it."
"Some we give them the good life, others we give it right up the ass."
"When you've been betrayed by a friend, you hit back."
